That Atlantic article fascinated me, but 1. It does not really say what you are claiming it says and 2. I disagree with the author's impression he was not psychotic. That whole "I've decided to kill" quote drove it home for me. First sentence is absurd, then the rest of the excerpt is very typical anosognosia.
In fact I've read the manifesto before and I concluded you can't separate his message from his psychosis and violence, and it has a recognizable quality that I've seen before in people close to me with that kind of illness. He was smart, but having such a disorder doesn't mean you're intellectually disabled. Just look at John Nash or Vincent van Gogh.
